Experience the timeless sound of the Italian mandolin in a striking historic church in the heart of Venice. Leave the crowds outside and soak up the cosy atmosphere of one of the most beautiful historic churches in Venice. For an unforgettable evening, the MandolinVenice Quartet takes you into the golden age of Italian music — baroque and classical repertoire performed with passion, precision and that intimate elegance that only a small ensemble can offer.
The mandolin is the soul of Italian musical tradition, and nowhere resonates more naturally than within the stone walls of a Venetian church, where every note seems to belong to the centuries that surround it.

We attended a nighttime performance in early spring 2026. The program was well-balanced and delightful. The musicians are extremely good and everything was so atmospheric, as the church in which it is held is small and intimate. If you have never been to a mandolin concert, this is a must. I would definitely attend another concert of the Mandolin Venice Ensemble. Afterwards, we walked home through the alleys and along the canals, a quiet and mysterious hour when all the crowds have vanished and only the sound of mandolin music still plays in our memory. Truly a magical night in Venice I will never forget.

We had just 2 days in Venice, my friend was staying an additional night and had tickets to the Vivaldi concert which happily I had seen previously so we decided to try this Mandolin concert. It was a great surprise and so enjoyable. They are very talented musicians, gave a brief background story to each piece which helped us to enjoy the selection even more. Highly recommended!

Last night I attended MandolinVenice’s Christmas concert in Venice and felt immediately at ease. The heated church, soft lighting, and festive mood created a wonderfully intimate atmosfere. I felt personally involved in the music from the very first notes. The performance was warm, elegant, and deeply enjoyable. A truly special Christmas experience I would gladly repeat.

The concert was truly beautiful and moving. The classical music, enriched with wonderful Christmas pieces, created a warm and charming atmosphere that immediately captured the audience’s attention. The musical group, made up of two mandolins, one mandola, and a guitar, showed great harmony and excellent musical skill. Each instrument had its own role while blending perfectly into a balanced and refined sound. The Christmas pieces were performed with elegance and sensitivity, creating moments of real magic. The performance was precise and expressive, clearly showing the musicians’ passion and professionalism. This concert successfully combined tradition, emotion, and beauty, leaving a very positive impression and a strong desire to attend future performances by this ensemble.

Fantastic evening! What a concert :) I have no idea why the place wasn't packed out... The venue was lovely, intimate and warm. The musicians were amazing. I couldn't believe my luck in catching this, final of tour, concert. I'd always hoped to hear one, particular, piece live...So, to hear it in Venice was an absolute treat.

My partner and I were thrilled with the Mandolin Venice concert. The experience was unique, authentic, and magical. I have always loved the mandolin and am so happy to have seen a professional show now. I also appreciated the short history and explanations of each piece. Grazie mille!

We were visiting Venice for 2 weeks and wanted to experience as much as possible. I don't care if you visit for 2 days or 2 weeks ... if you can fit this concert into your schedule, do it! The venue was perfect. The music was beautiful. The leader gave a brief, informative talk before each piece. The 4 musicians were fantastic and you were able to visit with them after the show. I highly recommend this concert.

This was a wonderful concert which captured the beautiful sounds of Italian songs, pieces and serenades. The ensemble were so welcoming and the playing was of the highest standard. This should definitely be on your bucket list when visiting Venice - it reflects the nostalgic feeling of the city perfectly (from Vivaldi, through the Gondoliers’ songs, to Puccini).
